Please tell your wife I need Botox forthe frown lines between my eyes. My skin is fine and almost wrinkle free which for a 60 years old is pretty good if you ask me. My hair aint gray either. Must be a good gene floating around in my family somewhere. hahahahaha

My treatment was cancelled today due to the hydrolic bed beinbg out of whack. I guess I am luck though to go all this time and this being the first really bad maching breakdown. Week before last the machine was down but it only was a 20 minute delay which wasn't all the bad I didn't think.

Now I am going to have to find out how much my treatments are or I will go nuts. Maybe one of the guys there knows. I will ask them tomorrow. I ask them everything so I doubt it will surprise any of them. TG for insurance. eek

Well I am tired again. Blah. Ready for bed at 2 in the afternoon. Pretty sad. I need to put that Miles stuff on the inside of my lip too and hopefully it works and takes some of the discomfort out of it.

God bless,
Barb~

You need to go to a doctor for Botox - that's a prescription injection.

The machine I was treated on broke down several times as well. They were in constant use so downtime really screws up their schedules.

Yeah' its sad to say they are in constant use. I feel like an oldtimer there so many new ones come in for simulation everyday. I cry all the way to the car. I am such a cryer. I am glad there are no children there. My husband went to some CC and he had his treatments on the upper floor and on the lower floor were the children. I cried so much he finally asked me to stop coming. I cannot take other peoples pain and sorrow as well as I can take my own.

Maybe I will just forget Botox and use Preparation H. I hear it works for under eye bags. hahahahahaha laugh

Ignore me. I am swelled up and hot and tired. I am also whining. frown

Blessings abound,
Barb~

This triple antibiotic seems to be doing the trick. Its not a script either. Just over the counter standard. Shriners Burns IOnstitute is pretty well know so if they recommend it then I am all for it.

Blessings,

Barb, when you are tired---sleep! It doesn't matter what time of day or night it is. The only time clock you have to worry about is getting to treatments. Otherwise, qiut watching the clock and do what your body feels like it needs.My hunch is lots of rest smile CA Amy

My body feels like doing nothing. It does feel like eating but it doesn't want to walk into the kitchen to make anything. It doesn't want to sleep and it doesn't want to stay awake. I believe it is getting a tad depressed as all it wants to do is cry all the time. frown

Barb, you amaze me! I find it very encouraging that you are able to be up and around. But, Please sleep when you need to and cry if you want. I slept the whole time during radiation. I assume it was the drugs and pregnancy that caused me to be so tired. Don't worry what others think if you are in bed or if you are crying. You need some type of outlet for your emotions. And if you don't mind taking more medications your Radiation oncologist will prescribe an antidepressant. Of course, I couldn't take one because of the baby ( I don't understand that though, I was taking so many pain meds and going through radiation what was one more drug!)
Take care and get some rest there will be plenty of time afterwards to do anything you want. Mary

Well once again I am better. Last night I packed 3 boxes and took a ton out to the dumpster since I am moving at the end of next month and I want to get some stuff into storage this month.

Go ahead and yell at me. I am ready.........
